Tbe landed proprietary of the province are Poles; the peasantry being, in chief part, Puthenian. who have no svmpethy with the noMibr tnovsioeat against .Bnasia. and who, JthowgJb hy no ntraAS attached to the empire Of tbe Ctar. hare been" ess!? bribed or in duced by a prospect of plunder to side with the Emperor. These peasaaia have in many instances resisted every temptation, sod remained faithful to their masters. The Russian goveratuenf. by ..' way of aiding to put down the rebellion, seems ' to have resorted to s decree of confiscation of property of rebels not unlike ia ita provision tbe set of , on r federal Congress. Ia both cases tbe property of tbe revolted section ha been called upon for pecuniary contribution to aid in resto ring the authority of the general government, and, in -event of failure to respond (of which failure both the United States sad Bussis bsd from theaeceeaitie of the esse, foreknowledge) : then prompt sale of th property at auction to slaves or peasant, a the ease may be.

Let tbe North stick to iu representative roan, and not chaage front in the hour of battle. There is matter for reflection (savs the Chil licothe Advertiser.) in the forreoine.

AlKMt this there can be no doubt. And there ia another thing equally certain, that If the Democratic party shall be reinstated iu power, by a clear majority, not by a plurality, in the face of the seemingly overwhelming opposition that shall be brought to bear against it. it will tie accepted by a large class of tbe people ia the South j it U safe to aay, by a large majority of tbe people in the South; as an attestation that AbolitionLnn baa been Over' thrown and will no longer be able to afflict the bod? politic Until auch a result is schieved, no permanent peace no restored Union will take place. The Abolition ora ctes no longer give uncertain responses. SJlavery is the cause of the- Kebel Hon' ear they, M and, therefore, before the arm of the North are rrounded tb cause must be extir pated."

In the House Of Representatives, If r. Cox, of Ohio, in discussing the proposition to amend the enrollment bill by exempting ministers of the gospel, said : ' I am opposed to exempting minister of the gospel from their share of the dutv of puttinr down this rebellion. It is a general belief among large part of the people of this country, both North and South, that the most pes tiferous class, ot human beioge those who have fomented secession at the South and disunion in the North have been the clergymen. And they are still fomenting bate, ill wilLand onkindneas among the people. And now, gentlemen come here, and say that their profession forbid them to encourage in the shedding of blood, and that therefore they should be exempt from military service. Sir, I canuot rec ognise that as any argument for such exemp tion. 1 sin opposed to tut clasa legislation. I eannot recognix any difference between min-ifitere of the gospel and men belonging to any ther profession. Atler all it is nothing but a Lupines, ajid in tbe matter of allegiance every man, whatever may be his business, owes hi allegiance to his country. My colleague I Sir.

It is a general belief among large part of the people of this country, both North and South, that the most pes tiferous class, ot human beioge those who have fomented secession at the South and disunion in the North have been the clergymen. And they are still fomenting bate, ill wilLand onkindneas among the people. And now, gentlemen come here, and say that their profession forbid them to encourage in the shedding of blood, and that therefore they should be exempt from military service.
